Very impressive numbers Mr. Dennis. That other stroker thread kind of died out without much info being shared. Do you have any other information about the build? Like, cam specs, heads, comp. ratio, etc.? Any dyno graphs?

Wow, incredible numbers from what is still a truly streetable combination, I'm betting he could drive that car to California with no problems if he chose to.
A huge congrats to Cartek for makin' it all happen and to '07 416' for stepping it up to the next level.
Hey, I remember that guy! LOL
Good point, and 4.10 gears as well. Still a hydraulic cam/lifter set up too.
Not that I would ever consider changing a single thing about this awesome build but I wonder if 3.42s, an electric water pump and a lighter clutch set up could've sent it over 600+rwhp.
I bet all of that ^ along with an aluminum flywheel would've done it.
I want a ride in this thing.

I think you should drive it on the street/highway for a while and just get used to the thing, it's going to be whole different animal now. 
And if ya put some miles on it I'd like to see ya maybe do another clutch fluid change just prior to taking it to the track as well.

Although a stroker here, the bore is still the same as the 6.2L.
Cartek should be applauded for taking the initiative on such a build but then Julio and crew stopped surprising me long ago.
Good job!

Could you offer more info on this statement please? I'm considering Cartek for possible future work. I don't like getting caught up in dyno numbers but I don't want any dyno tricks being played on me either. What type of dyno do they use? How/who would you compare the dyno numbers with to consider it low?

its a very good place to go, i have been very happy, no dyno tricks, always a proper tune not unsafe just to get big numbers, i don't care about dyno numbers, just 1/4 times and mph, there motto and shirts say, real performance not just dyno hype, im sure LS1LT1 can tell you more
A truly awesome C5/C6 LSx specialty shop...and I believe they use a Dynojet dyno.
